Event Update For 2013-12-01






The seas, lakes and oceans are now pluming deadly hydrogen sulfide and suffocating methane. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic water-soluble heavier-than-air gas and will accumulate in low-lying areas. Methane is slightly more buoyant than normal air and so will be all around, but will tend to contaminate our atmosphere from the top down. These gases are sickening and killing oxygen-using life all around the world, including human life, as our atmosphere is increasingly poisoned. Because both gases are highly flammable and because our entire civilization is built around fire and flammable fuels, this is leading to more fires and explosions. This is an extinction level event and will likely decimate both the biosphere and human population and it is debatable whether humankind can survive this event.



A. More fires and more explosions, especially along the coasts, but everywhere generally.
B. Many more animal die-offs, of all kinds, and especially oceanic species.
C. More multiples of people will be found dead in their homes, as if they'd dropped dead.
D. More corpses found in low-lying areas, all over the world.
E. More unusual vehicular accidents.
F. Improved unemployment numbers as people die off.

Quote: "The pickup sideswiped a small Jacksonville Transportation Authority sign, then crossed all westbound lanes of Wonderwood before traveling over the south-shoulder curb and on the center median, according to the Highway Patrol. Sullivan’s vehicle continued in the center median for about 450 feet before the truck’s front-right tire hit a small tree."

Note: He may have been unconscious or already dead throughout that whole sequence...

Note: This transformer is to replace one that burned up earlier this year. This story shows that some of these transformer fires take a considerable amount of resources to recover from the damage. This transformer weighs 340,000 pounds (170 tons), and it's journeyed 5500 miles from where it was manufactured, in Korea. You can't go to Home Depot and buy these things; they are hard to replace...
